AMORETTO.  Sweet sir, I would I could confer this or any kindness upon you:—­I wonder, the boy comes not away with my hobby.  Now, sir, as I was proceeding—­when you blow the death of your fox in the field or covert, then must you sound three notes with three winds, and recheat, mark you, sir, upon the same with three winds.

ACADEMICO. 
I pray you, sir.

AMORETTO. 
Now, sir, when you come to your stately gate, as you sounded the recheat
before, so now you must sound the relief three times.

ACADEMICO. 
Relief, call you it? it were good, every patron would find the horn.
          
                                                 [Aside.

AMORETTO.  O sir, but your relief is your sweetest note:  that is, sir, when your hounds hunt after a game unknown; and then you must sound one long and six short; the second wind, two short and one long; the third wind, one long and two short.

ACADEMICO. 
True, sir, it is a very good trade nowadays to be a villain; I am the
hound that hunts after a game unknown, and blows the villain.
          
                                                 [Aside.]

AMORETTO. 
Sir, I will bless your ears with a very pretty story:  my father, out of
his own cost and charges, keeps an open table for all kind of dogs.

ACADEMICO. 
And he keeps one more by thee. [Aside.]

AMORETTO.  He hath your greyhound, your mongrel, your mastiff, your levrier, your spaniel, your kennets, terriers, butchers’ dogs, bloodhounds, dunghill-dogs, trundle-tails, prick-eared curs, small ladies’ puppies, raches,[88] and bastards.

ACADEMICO.  What a bawdy knave hath he to his father, that keeps his Rachel, hath his bastards, and lets his sons be plain ladies’ puppies to bewray a lady’s chamber. [Aside.]

AMORETTO.  It was my pleasure, two days ago, to take a gallant leash of greyhounds; and into my father’s park I went, accompanied with two or three noblemen of my near acquaintance, desiring to show them some of the sport.  I caused the keeper to sever the rascal deer from the bucks of the first head.  Now, sir, a buck the first year is a fawn, the second year a pricket, the third year a sorel, the fourth year a sore, the fifth a buck of the first head, the sixth year a complete buck; as likewise your hart is the first year a calf, the second year a brocket, the third year a spade, the fourth year a stag, the fifth year a great stag, the sixth year a hart; as likewise the roebuck is the first year a kid, the second year a girl, the third year a hemuse:  and these are your special beasts for chase, or, as we huntsmen call it, for venery.

ACADEMICO.  If chaste be taken for venery, thou art a more special beast than any in thy father’s forest. [Aside.] Sir, I am sorry I have been so troublesome to you.
